Ahhh, sorry! I missed the fact you were migrating to ASP.NET.
No worries... ;-)

If UCase(Request.Form("Add")) = "TRUE" Then

In ASP.NET, you just use the control's ID value to get or set it's properties.
You no longer have to use the Request.Form to get the control's value.

For example, if you place a Button and a TextBox on a WinForm, then
double click on the Button, you will be taken to the button's clieck event
in the WinForm's code-behind page (assuming you are using Visual Studo
..NET).

Since the button click event fires, you know which button on the form was
click. Plus you can set or get the value of the textbox as follows:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
' Set the value for TextBox1
TextBox1.Text = "Hello World"

' Get the value from TextBox1
Dim s As String = TextBox1.Text
End Sub

ScriptsDeml,

You should use user controls to replace include files.

I highly suggest running through these free tutorials from microsoft. They
are how I got started using Asp.Net after coding in vbscript for years.
They really helped me get started.

Thanks Carl for the suggestion.. one more thing i want to
clarify is i was using #include files a lot ... how can i
replace them ??

You can still use include files. But the ASP.NET way is to
use User Controls
http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/aspplus/doc/webpagelets.aspx
or Custom Controls
http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/aspplus/doc/webctrlauthoring.aspx

You might also want to take a look a one of the presentations I did:
"Migrating Existing ASP Applications to ASP.NETAn in-depth look at the
paradigm shifts and upgrade strategies". The questions are you asking are
the exact "paradigm shifts" you need to make when moving to ASP.NET
